System and method for amplifying an optical pulse using a diode-pumped, Q-switched, extracavity frequency-doubled laser to pump an optical amplifier

摘要

An efficient, powerful and reliable system for amplifying optical pulses. Seed-pulses are generated by a seed-pulse source and are transmitted to an optical amplifier for amplification. The power for the amplification is provided by a Q-switched, diode-pumped, extracavity frequency-doubled pump laser.
